It’s been a summer of planning and now that autumn has arrived, we are delighted to announce that our Women & Agriculture Conference is ready to welcome our Irish Country Living readers.

Get excited as we are heading back south to a venue that always holds a special place in our hearts, the Europe Hotel and Resort in Killarney. So put Wednesday 24 October into the diary and keep reading Irish Country Living as week by week we will be revealing another fantastic line-up.

As always, we like to kick off the two-day event in style with our pre-conference banquet on Tuesday 23 October. This will take place from 7pm and attendees will be treated to a delicious four-course meal in The Panorama, followed by music and dance. Get the nicest gúna out ladies as there will be prizes for best dressed on the night.
